I loved the vocabulary used. I read it for the litsy children‘s classic read of the month. I love mice stories and horse stories.

pickThis fun tale follows three courageous mice on a mission to rescue a prisoner (though I never understood why that particular prisoner poet needed to be rescued). I liked all three of them especially Miss Bianca. The illustrations are great and I enjoyed the sly sense of humour. Never read the book, never watched the Disney adaptation, I‘m glad I‘ve read it for #ChildrensClassicRead2024

I enjoyed the characters of Miss Bianca, Bernard and Nils very much but my adult mind didn‘t care much for the plot. I wanted to know more about the prisoner and why he was imprisoned. Still glad I read it and after I rewatched the Disney movie, hadn‘t seeing it in ages.

pickWhat a delightful read! Love Margery‘s wit(and her curls!)Thanks @TheBookHippie for this great choice to kick off #ChildrensClassicRead2024
My favorite part: When a bored Miss Bianca was in search of something to read: “The Head Jailer was practically illiterate, there was nothing to be borrowed from his shelves save one dog-eared pamphlet entitled Cut Your Own Corns, which Miss Bianca would have sooner died — O ominous phrase! — than look at.”😆
pickThis was such an adorable story! #ChildrensClassicRead2024 I can't believe I haven't read this before or watched the Disney animation. I found it very witty and charming, and just an all-round delight. It's always a good time when animals get existential 😆 Loved the illustrations by Garth Williams. I should check out more of her adult novels, as well—I enjoyed Four Gardens, which we read for #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub @TheBookHippie
so-soMine is an unpopular opinion, I know, but The Rescuers was one of the first Disney films I remember, and it will always be my favorite. The film and this book couldn‘t be more different. I didn‘t care for the writing style and, ugh, the misogyny. I know it‘s in line with the time it was written, but it was more than I can tolerate in my present mental state. That said, I‘m glad I read it. #childrensclassicread2024
